Here is my shell script:

======================================

	#!/bin/sh

	DATE=`date +%m-%d-%Y`;
	ARCHIVED="MP_Site_Files-$DATE.tar";

	cd /usr/local/webroot/;

	tar -cvf $ARCHIVED mp_stable;

	yes|gzip -9 $ARCHIVED;

======================================

Here is what I get spitted out.

	gzip: MP_Site_Files-08-21-2002.tar.gz already exists;   not
overwritten


Any ideas on how to make it over-write without flaw?
